Hi everyone
I’m new to the forum & a newly diagnosed T1 diabetic (nearly a year)
Was hoping for some advice with this question please.
I’m looking to start running & going to the gym again. The question I have is...
Should I Bolus for the protein shake that I’ll be taking 30 minutes pre exercise & then Bolus again for the protein shake I’ll be taking 30 minutes post exercise?
The protein shake I’ll be using pre & post exercise is...
Sci-MX Omni MX hardcore
...it has 72g of carbohydrate per 150g serving.
So I’ll be taking a serving pre & post exercise.
I’m on a 1 unit to 10g carb ratio using a Novo rapid flex pen.
I’d be looking to Bolus 7 units with the pre exercise protein shake serving.
Then Bolus 7 units with the post exercise protein shake serving.
On paper this seems correct to me but I’m curious to see how others dose when it comes to protein shakes pre & post exercise.
Any advice or knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
